Our engagement arises from our appointment as auditor of the Old Mutual Unit Trust Managers (RF) (Pty) Ltd and is for the purpose of assisting the Portfolio’s unitholders to prepare the unitholder’s Schedule IB ‘Assets of the Fund held in compliance with Regulation 28’ in terms of the requirements of Regulation 28(8)(b)(i). The Responsibility of the Directors of the Manager The Directors of the Manager are responsible for the preparation of the Schedule in terms of the requirements of the Regulation, and for such internal control as the Manager determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the Schedule that is free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error. Our Independence and Quality Control We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of Sections 290 and 291 of the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors’ Code of Professional Conduct for Registered Auditors (Revised January 2018) and parts 1 and 3 of the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors’ Code of Professional Conduct for Registered Auditors (Revised November 2018) (together the IRBA Codes), which are founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour. The IRBA Codes are consistent with the corresponding sections of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) respectively.

Chief Executive: I Sehoole Directors: Full list on website KPMG Incorporated is a Registered Auditor, in public practice, in terms of the Auditing Profession Act 26 of 2005. The company's principal place of business is at KPMG Crescent, 85 Empire Road, Parktown. Registration number 1999/021543/21 1 Independent Auditor's Limited Assurance Report of Old Mutual Unit Trust Managers (RF) (Pty) Ltd (the “Manager”) 30 June 2020 KPMG Inc applies the International Standard on Quality Control 1 and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on whether, based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained, the Schedule has been prepared in terms of the requirements of the Regulation. We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised), Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historic Financial Information (ISAE) 3000 (Revised) issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. That standard requires us to plan and perform this engagement to obtain limited assurance on whether the Schedule has been prepared in terms of the requirements of the Regulation. A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than a reasonable assurance engagement in relation to both risk assessment procedures, including an understanding of internal control, and the procedures performed in response to the assessed risks. The procedures we performed were based on our professional judgement and includes inquiries, observation of processes followed, inspection of documents, analytical procedures, evaluating reporting policies and agreeing or reconciling with underlying records. We completed our audit of the financial statements of the Manager for the year ended 31 December 2019, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, on which we issued an unmodified opinion on 30 March 2020. Our audit was performed in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the Manager's internal controls. Where appropriate, we have drawn on evidence obtained regarding instances of non-compliance with the Regulation identified during the course of our audit that might materially affect the financial statements, and have performed such additional procedures as we considered necessary. The procedures performed included: — Re-computing the Schedule’s arithmetical accuracy; — Reviewing the appropriateness of the classification of a sample of the underlying assets; — Agreeing a sample of the fair values on the Schedule to the investment administration system; and — Inspecting whether any instances of non-compliance with the Regulations were correctly disclosed on the Schedule. 2 Independent Auditor's Limited Assurance Report of Old Mutual Unit Trust Managers (RF) (Pty) Ltd (the “Manager”) 30 June 2020 The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing, and are less in extent than for a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had we performed a reasonable assurance engagement. Accordingly, we do not express a reasonable assurance opinion about whether the Schedule has been prepared in terms of the requirements of the Regulation. We believe that the evidence obtained as part of our limited assurance engagement is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our limited assurance conclusion expressed below. Limited Assurance Conclusion Based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Schedule IB ‘Assets of the Fund held in compliance with Regulation 28’ at 31 December 2019 by the Old Mutual Multi-Managers Aggressive Balanced Fund, has not been prepared in terms of the requirements of Regulation 28(8)(b)(i) of the Pension Funds Act of South Africa. Emphasis of Matter We draw attention to Page 50 of Schedule IB which indicates that the fund breached the foreign exposure limitation, as at 31 December 2019. The breaches occurred as a result of market movements. These breaches have been date-stamped and will be rectified within the required 12-month period as per Regulation 28. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Restriction on Use and Distribution This report is prepared in terms of the requirements of Regulation 28(8)(b)(i)(aa) and is intended only for the Manager and Portfolio’s unitholders for the purpose indicated in the first paragraph. Consequently, the Schedule and our report may not be suitable for another purpose and is not to be used for any other purpose nor distributed to any other parties.
